ICYMI: This story is getting lots of hits on our site today. It argues that @markcarney.bsky.social should avoid any attempt to appease Donald Trump since the U.S. president reneges on any deals he makes: theconversation.com/donald-trump...

Donald Trump’s ‘art of the deal’ means reneging on them. That’s why Canada cannot capitulate

Countries that sign deals with the Trump administration are quickly finding out that the stability and certainty they hoped to purchase was an illusion.

Lloyd Robertson, the face of TV news in Canada for multiple generations, and for two networks, passes away at 92.

So on this Trump wants to save money while he builds a ballroom and arch and golden horses and all his other vanity projects. He is despicable. Treating our friend, Canada like he has and the American people even worse. No help for them.

“For a long time,” Chan says, “misogyny was dealt with as a domestic issue within the family home or within personal relationships. There needs to be an understanding that this is a public safety threat.” @cultmtl.com cultmtl.com/2026/07/trea...

Treat incels as the violent extremists they are

Misogynistic incel subculture — elements of which have become disturbingly mainstream — is a serious public safety threat.

Anne named her diary "Kitty" Each time she wrote a new section in her diary, she "said" "Dear Kitty"...

@lakerpatrick.bsky.social · yesterday

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

Thank you. Trump is evil. We will always be friends 🇨🇦🇺🇲🫰✌️

Good job, Canada! Don’t take any shit. At least half of the US understands that Trump is in the wrong and he is being abusive with our best friend and ally. The Americans who have morals and common sense stand with Canadians. Keep fighting the good fight.

Trump says he’s decided on punishment for Canada’s wildfire smoke: ‘You’ll find out’ - AOL

Trump has accused Canada of mismanaging its forests and previously vowed the country would be ‘held responsible’ for the smoke

Great news - Mexico is going to help Canada battle wildfires. Is the US helping in any way, or is Trump still wanting to sue them over the wildfire smoke? SMH In any event, Mexico is a caring and helping country. May they be the help needed to finally contain and end the brutal fires.

At 7 AM this morning we were delighted to discover baby has begun to hand a book to their mum or me to signal they want to be read to. New! Adorable! It is 8:30. They are handing the same book over for approximately the thirtieth time with equal determination. It is no longer adorable.

Jonas Salk Hologram To Be Prosecuted By People Who Didn't Get Polio

I questioned Anthony Fauci under oath during COVID. I asked questions. He answered them. That's what congressional oversight is supposed to look like. What Republicans did to him this week wasn't oversight. It was a humiliation ritual. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

I Questioned Anthony Fauci during COVID. What Rand Paul Did To Him This Week Was A Disgrace.

In 2020, I wanted answers. This week, Senate Republicans tried to destroy him for a viral clip.

I had my 7th Covid shot with my annual flu shot. It is crucial to believe science. Vaccines save lives I am very sorry about your brother's untimely death.

Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH@geauxgabrielle.blacksky.app · 5d ago

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.

I agree with @drsandman11.medsky.social: If you didn't look like this & doing everything you can to prevent people from dying during the pandemic, maybe think twice before judging Dr. Fauci.

And lawmakers!
